How do I find out the name of the database to use to connect over XMLRPC?

Question

I'm trying to use an XMLRPC connection but I don't know which database to connect to. I can log in to the system, but it doesn't show me which db it is using. How can I find out?

import xmlrpclib

user = 'admin'
password = 'PASSWORD'
host = 'localhost:8069'
db = 'test'  # How do I find out what database to connect to?

sock = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://%s/xmlrpc/common' % host)
uid = sock.login(db, user, password)

db_serv_url = 'http://{}/xmlrpc/db'.format(host)

sock = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(db_serv_url)

dbs = sock.list()

print dbs

Use your browser to navigate to http://localhost:8069.

You will either see a list of databases in a dropdown in the top right corner, or (if there is only a single database) will need to click the link 'Manage Databases', then 'Drop' to see the name of the database.

For python 3.x you can use following
xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy("https://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc/db").list() [1]
